Boring and uninformative…,
I’m a graduate student in a PhD. Clinical Psychology program. This book was assigned for my course of “Avanzed Semminar on Cientific Investigation” and honestly, this book is too general on some of the most important concepts (when it comes to investigation and methology) and quite boring. I wouldn’t recomend this book ever. Not very useful.

Nice text,
The book provides a solid overview of research methods in clinical psychology. Most chapters are well-written and informative, although there are a couple that could have used a bit more editing.
